After a slip-and-fall accident, it can be easy to feel like you should just get up, dust yourself off and move on with your day. After all, you might feel a little embarrassed and any pain you may be feeling might be dismissed as fleeting or minor. In some cases, you might be in a little bit of shock, making it even more difficult to accurately assess your condition.
